kit T H E Instant Expert: Espresso Capsule Coffee Machines Cap it all Capsule or pod coffee machines are the easiest way of getting a great cup of coffee in your kitchen. They’re quick, clean and as simple as popping the pod containing the coffee in and pressing a button. Sage The Creatista Plus Black Truffle This is the first Nespresso coffee machine to feature an automated steam wand allowing you to create perfectly textured milk at your preferred temperature. In fact, The Creatista uses the same wand technology that is found in the top of the range Sage coffee machines. Like other Nespresso machines, The Sage Creatista Plus is a capsule fed machine but the addition of the steam wand takes this machine to a whole new level. Featuring a menu selection of 7 coffees including flat white, café latte and cappuccino you also have 8 different milk texture settings and 11 milk temperature options depending on the type of coffee you are making. Heat up time is an amazing 3 seconds, the fastest heat up time of any Nespresso coffee machine and the 19 bar pressure system ensures perfect coffee every time. The Sage Creatista Plus has a large capacity 1.5-litre water tank and also comes with a 480ml stainless steel milk jug for texturing your milk in.

Complete with an automatic milk frother for foamy white coffees. Lavazza Jolie & Milk White Coffee Machine The Lavazza Jolie White coffee machine with integrated milk frother works with Lavazza A Modo Mio coffee capsules and has a 10 bar pressure pump for delivering smooth hot coffee. There are two dose buttons; the small button is for a single espresso shot the large button is for a lungo measure of coffee. The coffee machine will be ready to use in approximately 35 seconds thanks to its Thermoblock technology. Place an espresso cup on the drip tray (or if you require a long coffee the drip tray can be removed to accommodate a larger cup). The used capsule is automatically ejected and the used capsule container is large enough to accommodate 5 used capsules. All removable components are dishwasher safe and to save energy the Jolie Coffee Machine automatically powers off after 9 minutes of inactivity. The integrated milk frother has three functions; hot, cold frothed and hot milk using conduction heating technology. The frother can heat up to 180ml of milk for heating and 120ml if the milk is going to be frothed, allowing room for expansion of milk when frothy. The water tank holds 600ml for filling with water before making coffee. Harts Price: £129.00 RRP: £299.99 Harts Price: £274.94 55 www.hartsofstur.com
